If Einstein could replicate himself 1000x, perform all his thought experiments in parallel, not have to eat, sleep, or be limited by his human short-term memory, he would have likely have accomplished all he did far faster. AGI will at the very minimum have all the advantages of humans plus all the advantages of computers, which would be a huge automatic boon even without the fact that an AGI at human level would likely be able to scale even further.
